Renn F fe029fe34b fix(self-heal): dispatch fix tasks autonomously instead of stranding them

A self-heal fix task was opened confirmed_by_human=false and held out of
dispatch until "Approve & Start" — but that button only renders for a
board-reviewed Intake task (pending + board_review_complete + team != main_pm),
never for a self-heal task (team=main_pm, no board review). So there was no way
to start it: it sat in pending forever and the Main PM never picked it up.

Self-heal is RoboCo healing itself, not an Intake draft — it shouldn't need a
manual Approve & Start. Origination now opens the fix task confirmed + assigned
to the Main PM agent, the PM dispatcher's self-heal hold is dropped, and the
now-dead approve_and_start special-case is removed. The fix still ships through
the normal gates (dev -> QA -> PR review -> the CEO's merge); the loop never
starts, merges, or deploys.

Raw Blame History

Environment reference

This is the canonical list of every ROBOCO_* setting. They are all read by a single Pydantic-Settings class (roboco/config.py), loaded from the process environment and .env, prefixed with ROBOCO_, and case-insensitive. Most have a working default; the few that don't, and the ones the orchestrator refuses to start without, are flagged below.

!!! tip "You rarely set most of these" For a working deploy you set the two required secrets, the host paths, and maybe a feature flag or two. The long tables here exist so that when you do need to tune a timeout or a window, you can find it. The defaults shown are RoboCo's config defaults; a few compose-only defaults differ and are called out.

A feature flag set in .env takes effect on the next backend restart. The env-gated subsystems can also be toggled from the panel's Settings → Feature Flags card, which persists to the settings store and overrides the env default; an unset toggle falls back to the env/config default. See the Optional capabilities section for what each subsystem does.

Required secrets

Variable	Default	Purpose
`ROBOCO_ENCRYPTION_KEY`	(empty — required)	Fernet key encrypting every per-project git token at rest. The orchestrator refuses to start without it (compose `:?` guard). Generate with `python -c 'from cryptography.fernet import Fernet; print(Fernet.generate_key().decode())'`. Keep it stable — losing it makes stored tokens undecryptable.
`ROBOCO_AGENT_AUTH_SECRET`	(empty — required for compose)	HMAC secret signing the per-agent `X-Agent-Token`. Generate with `python -c 'import secrets; print(secrets.token_hex(32))'`.

Security & auth

Variable	Default	Purpose
`ROBOCO_AGENT_AUTH_REQUIRED`	`false`	Fail-closed secure mode. When `true`, every API call must carry a valid token. Requires `ROBOCO_PANEL_AGENT_TOKEN` to keep the panel working. On a trusted LAN, leave `false` (header-trust mode).
`ROBOCO_PANEL_AGENT_TOKEN`	(empty)	The CEO token nginx injects as `X-Agent-Token` on `/api` and `/ws` in secure mode, so the panel works without the browser holding the signing secret. Generate with `make panel-token`.

Application & API server

Variable	Default	Purpose
`ROBOCO_APP_VERSION`	`0.9.0`	Reported app version.
`ROBOCO_DEBUG`	`false`	Debug mode.
`ROBOCO_ENVIRONMENT`	`development`	One of `development` / `staging` / `production`. Selects the JSON log renderer (prod) vs console renderer. The compose stack sets `production`.
`ROBOCO_HOST`	`127.0.0.1`	Bind address. Use `0.0.0.0` in containers.
`ROBOCO_PORT`	`8000`	API port.
`ROBOCO_API_URL`	(unset)	Override base URL for containerized agents (e.g. `http://roboco-orchestrator:8000`); otherwise built from host/port.
`ROBOCO_CORS_ORIGINS`	`["http://localhost:3000","http://localhost:5173"]`	Allowed CORS origins. The single-origin nginx setup means you rarely change this.
`ROBOCO_CORS_ALLOW_CREDENTIALS`	`true`	Whether CORS allows credentials.
`ROBOCO_PUBLIC_BASE_URL`	`http://127.0.0.1:8000`	Reachable base URL embedded in commit-trailer links — set to your LAN IP or domain so the links resolve.

Database

Variable	Default	Purpose
`ROBOCO_DATABASE_HOST`	`localhost`	Postgres host (`roboco-postgres` in compose).
`ROBOCO_DATABASE_PORT`	`5432`	Postgres port.
`ROBOCO_DATABASE_USER`	`roboco`	Postgres user.
`ROBOCO_DATABASE_PASSWORD`	`roboco`	Postgres password — change it for any real deployment.
`ROBOCO_DATABASE_NAME`	`roboco`	Database name.
`ROBOCO_DATABASE_ECHO`	`false`	Log every SQL statement.
`ROBOCO_DATABASE_POOL_SIZE`	`10`	Connection pool size.
`ROBOCO_DATABASE_MAX_OVERFLOW`	`20`	Extra connections beyond the pool.
`ROBOCO_DATABASE_POOL_TIMEOUT`	`10`	Seconds to wait for a pooled connection.
`ROBOCO_DATABASE_POOL_RECYCLE`	`1800`	Recycle a connection after this many seconds.

`ROBOCO_REDIS_PORT`	`6379`	Redis port.
`ROBOCO_REDIS_DB`	`0`	Redis logical DB.
`ROBOCO_REDIS_PASSWORD`	(unset)	Optional Redis password.

RAG, embeddings & Ollama

Variable	Default	Purpose
`ROBOCO_RAG_PERSIST_DIR`	`.roboco`	Local RAG persistence dir.
`ROBOCO_RAG_CHUNK_STRATEGY`	`fixed`	One of `fixed` / `semantic` / `hierarchical` / `contextual`. `fixed` recommended; `semantic` loads an extra model.
`ROBOCO_RAG_CHUNK_SIZE`	`512`	Base chunk size.
`ROBOCO_RAG_CHUNK_SIZE_DOCS`	`1536`	Chunk size for docs.
`ROBOCO_RAG_CHUNK_SIZE_JOURNALS`	`1024`	Chunk size for journals/reflections.
`ROBOCO_RAG_CHUNK_OVERLAP`	`128`	Chunk overlap.
`ROBOCO_RAG_AUTO_UPDATE_ENABLED`	`true`	Whether the RAG index auto-refreshes.
`ROBOCO_RAG_AUTO_UPDATE_INTERVAL`	`300`	Seconds between auto-updates.
`ROBOCO_ANTHROPIC_API_KEY`	(unset)	Optional Anthropic key. Agents use the mounted Claude Code auth, not a metered key.
`ROBOCO_DEFAULT_EMBEDDING_MODEL`	`qwen3-embedding:0.6b`	Embedding model (1024-dim).
`ROBOCO_EMBEDDING_DIMENSIONS`	`1024`	Embedding dimensions — must match the model.

`ROBOCO_WORKSPACE_INSTALL_DEV_DEPS`	`true`	After cloning, install the project's dev dependencies into the workspace so `make quality` runs without re-downloading tooling.
`ROBOCO_WORKSPACE_DEP_INSTALL_TIMEOUT_SECONDS`	`600`	Timeout for that post-clone dependency install.
`ROBOCO_GIT_COMMAND_TIMEOUT_SECONDS`	`30`	Timeout for a single local git subprocess (status, log, checkout).
`ROBOCO_GIT_COMMIT_TIMEOUT_SECONDS`	`180`	Timeout for staging + committing a changeset.
`ROBOCO_GIT_NETWORK_TIMEOUT_SECONDS`	`120`	Timeout for git ops that talk to origin (fetch / pull / push).
`ROBOCO_PROTECTED_GIT_URLS`	(empty)	Repo URL substrings a project may not point at — blocks agent commits/merges from reaching a protected repo.
`ROBOCO_SESSION_IDLE_TIMEOUT_SECONDS`	`3600`	Idle seconds before a messaging session is swept closed.

Agent images (spawn source)

Variable	Default	Purpose
`ROBOCO_AGENT_IMAGE_REGISTRY`	(empty)	Registry namespace for pre-built agent images (e.g. `ghcr.io/rennf93`). Empty = build locally. The registry compose wires this to `ROBOCO_REGISTRY`.
`ROBOCO_AGENT_IMAGE_TAG`	(empty)	Tag for pre-built agent images (e.g. `0.9.0`). Empty = implicit `:latest`. The registry compose wires this to `ROBOCO_VERSION`.

!!! note "Deploy-time variables (compose, not config.py)" A few variables are consumed by the compose files and host-mount wiring rather than by config.py: ROBOCO_REGISTRY, ROBOCO_VERSION, ROBOCO_DATA_DIR, ROBOCO_HOST_PROJECT_DIR, ROBOCO_HOST_CLAUDE_DIR / CLAUDE_AUTH_DIR, ROBOCO_HOST_DATA_DIR, and ROBOCO_HOST_GROK_DIR. They are documented in the production deploy reference.

Transcript retention

Variable	Default	Purpose

`ROBOCO_TRANSCRIPT_PRUNE_INTERVAL_SECONDS`	`3600`	Minimum seconds between prune passes.

Spawn pacing, SLAs & reaper windows

The orchestrator's dispatcher uses these to pace spawns, detect loops, and reclaim stuck work. Defaults are tuned for real LLM latency — raise the reaper windows (not lower) if long agent tasks are being reaped mid-work.

Variable	Default	Purpose
`ROBOCO_AGENT_TOOL_CALL_WARN`	`50`	Soft warning threshold for per-session tool calls.
`ROBOCO_AGENT_TOOL_CALL_HALT`	`150`	Hard cap on per-session tool calls; the orchestrator stops the container.

Gateway: manifests & tracing-gate minimums

Variable	Default	Purpose
`ROBOCO_MANIFEST_HOST_DIR`	`/app/manifests`	Orchestrator dir where per-agent tool manifests are written; must be a host-bind-mounted path so the daemon can mount each manifest into its agent.

Variable	Default	Purpose
`ROBOCO_HOST_GROK_DIR`	`/home/renzof/.grok` (compose)	Host `~/.grok` SuperGrok auth dir; mounted read-write into the orchestrator (token auto-refresh) and read-only into Grok agents. The same value is both the source and target path.

Optional subsystem flags (default-off unless noted)

These gate the env-toggled capabilities. Each is inert when off. See Optional capabilities.

Web research — default on

Variable	Default	Purpose
`ROBOCO_RESEARCH_ENABLED`	`true`	Master switch for web research. When `false`, the search MCP is not mounted into any agent.
`ROBOCO_RESEARCH_PROVIDER`	`tavily`	`tavily` / `brave` / `exa` / `null`.
`ROBOCO_RESEARCH_API_KEY`	(unset)	Provider key — server-side only, never reaches an agent. Unset = empty-result null provider.
`ROBOCO_RESEARCH_MAX_RESULTS`	`5`	Cap on results per search (1–20).
`ROBOCO_RESEARCH_FETCH_MAX_CHARS`	`20000`	Cap on extracted characters per fetch.

`ROBOCO_PROVISIONING_ENABLED`	`true`	Master switch for pitch auto-provisioning. Inert with no token/org regardless.
`ROBOCO_PROVISIONING_TOKEN`	(empty)	GitHub PAT (repo + org admin) used to create repos — server-side only.
`ROBOCO_PROVISIONING_ORG`	(empty)	GitHub org where new repos are created.
`ROBOCO_GITHUB_API_BASE_URL`	`https://api.github.com`	Override for GitHub Enterprise.
`ROBOCO_PROVISIONING_TIMEOUT_SECONDS`	`30.0`	Per-request provisioning timeout.
`ROBOCO_PROVISIONING_REPO_PRIVATE`	`true`	Whether provisioned repos are private.

Architectural conventions — off (config) / on (compose)

Variable	Default	Purpose
`ROBOCO_CONVENTIONS_ENABLED`	`false` (config) / `true` (compose)	Master switch for the per-project conventions standard (scaffold, ambient injection, baseline constraints, gate enforcement). The compose orchestrator block defaults this on (left off in `docker-compose.registry.yml`); fully inert when off.

Toolchain matching — default off

Variable	Default	Purpose
`ROBOCO_TOOLCHAIN_MATCH_ENABLED`	`false` (config) / `true` (compose)	Provision the agent workspace with the target project's Python and block delivery gates when the suite can't run. The compose orchestrator block defaults this on.

Provider overload break — default on

Variable	Default	Purpose
`ROBOCO_OVERLOAD_BREAK_ENABLED`	`true`	Park a provider on a persistent overload (HTTP 529/500/503) the way a 429 is parked, instead of crash-retrying.

Strategy engine — default off

Variable	Default	Purpose
`ROBOCO_STRATEGY_ENGINE_ENABLED`	`false`	Master switch for the autonomous strategy engine (notify-only). When off the loop never runs.
`ROBOCO_STRATEGY_ENGINE_INTERVAL_SECONDS`	`1800`	Seconds between assessment passes.

`ROBOCO_INTERNAL_PR_ENABLED`	`false`	Also review org-repo (non-fork) PRs not tied to an active task.

Self-healing CI loop — default off

Variable	Default	Purpose
`ROBOCO_SELF_HEAL_ENABLED`	`false`	Master switch for the self-heal loop (detect + notify the CEO). When off the loop never runs.
`ROBOCO_SELF_HEAL_PROJECT_SLUG`	(empty) / `roboco-api` (compose)	The registered project that is RoboCo itself — the only repo the loop watches/originates into.
`ROBOCO_SELF_HEAL_CI_WORKFLOW`	`ci.yml`	GitHub Actions workflow file to scope the CI signal to.
`ROBOCO_SELF_HEAL_ORIGINATE_ENABLED`	`false`	Second opt-in: on a regression, also open a fix task and dispatch it to the Main PM automatically (no manual start). The loop never merges or deploys — the fix ships through the normal gates (QA, PR review, your merge).
`ROBOCO_SELF_HEAL_INTERVAL_SECONDS`	`1800`	Seconds between telemetry passes.
`ROBOCO_SELF_HEAL_MAX_OPEN_TASKS`	`3`	Rolling cap on concurrently-open self-heal tasks.
